denotes the maximum permissible continuous current (DC or RMS values for sine-shaped AC) in the
temperature range from 0 to 65 °C.
Load derating (I

)
The power handling capability of an NTC thermistor cannot be fully utilized over the entire temperature range.
For circuit dimensioning the derating curve given below provides information on the extent to which the current
must be reduced at a certain ambient temperature (T

Note
The self-heating of a thermistor during operation depends on the load applied and the applicable dissipation
factor.
When loaded with maximum allowable current/power and the specified dissipation factor is taken as a basis,
the NTC thermistor may reach a mean temperature of up to 250
C.
The heat developed during operation will also be dissipated through the lead wires. So the contact areas, too,
may become quite hot at maximum load.
When mounting NTC thermistors you have to ensure that there is an adequate distance between the
thermistor and all parts which are sensitive to heat or combustible.
